My goal is to take every major phone release and offer you reviews from some of the most prominent and expert bloggers out there.

The next phone to be reviewed is the LG Decoy. This is the LG slider phone that integrated a bluetooth headset into the actual phone itself, which means you don't have to worry about pairing the bluetooth up with the phone. This particular design idea is rather innovative.

Let's go for it!





Laptop Mag:

The headset is discrete and only has a minor bulge on the back of the phone
Headset charges while docked in phone (which is good since you only get 2 hours talk time)
Soft-touch dialpad is good
Voice quality on headset is good when there's no background noise
Speakerphone is loud
Phone is a bit too heavy
Easy smudging on LCD screen

Cnet:

Overall: 8.3 out of 10
Easy-to-use interface
Good call quality
You can use headset to listen to music as well as making calls
Display is hard to see under bright lights
Excellent phone on its own

The LG Decoy is available for $179.99 with a Verizon contract.
